If you’ve ever had even a short hospital stay, you have firsthand knowledge of just how overwhelming noise can be. Research confirms that noise levels in patient rooms often exceed the World Health Organisation guidelines of 35 dBA during the day and 30 dBA at night, creating more stressful environments for patients and disrupting sleep.
